  • Great video!

    Even the DB logos are still on the train! And I bet the graffiti is also from Germany.

    What about the cars in the depot at the end of the video - are they also German?

  • The cars ad the end of this vid are also former german cars. They have trains formed only with former German cars or only use one german as coupler. You see this in my video "Cuban fast passenger train" at the beginning.

  • It is a former Mexican Railway locomotive, the FNM11095. It is a General Electric type C30-7, overhauled by Alstom where a smaller fueltank was mounted and 2 traction motors were removed. Instead a Co-Co now it is a A1A-A1A

  • Wow! Poor "Ferkeltaxe" german railbus :(

  • Ojala cuiden y den mantenimiento a estas excelentes locomotoras, que son de una gran marca como lo es GENERAL ELECTRIC. He visto videos de otras locomotoras que tienen por alla y por lo que se ve no son muy buenas. Estas fueron hechas para durar decadas, recorrieron casi todas las vias ferreas de México, son al mismo nivel de las que usan en EUA, ojala las sepan usar por alla y las aprovechen, ya que esas maquinas eran un patrimonio de todos los mexicanos y fue vendido por gobiernos corruptos...

  • Y ESO ARROLLA?

  • Im from Romania, and i like this shit ...

  • Shunter? It seems like they look the same everywhere. In Russia these fully. Why so slow train ride? From trains to jump off is not recommended.

  • when cubans come to America they love to PARTY

  • FDL forever best sound awesome!!!

  • mierda

  • @FXElaguna Perdona mi amigo, el ferocarril cubano desgraciadamente esta en muy malas condiciones, he podido ver ambos y no tiene comparacion, solo por el estado de conservacion de las maquinas lo puedes experimentar. Si un dia visitas la isla te haras tu propa idea

  • @yourpageitsasheed Ojala camarada que las mantengan vivas mucho años, cosa que veo dificil, ahora entraron unas chinas que no confio que duren los mismo que lo que pudiesen durar las C30 aun siendo de uso. De hecho esas creo fueon unas 12 maquinas si mal no recuerdo que viajaron desde mex y realmente casi no las veo rodar ya.
